Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives. Not long ago I had one that I would like to 36 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 37 we realized we were 38 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so 39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 42 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier . I had just 43 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn't 44 over it. I just couldn't go back to the cashier and 45 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I 46 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in 47 that someone would say “Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change 48 the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?”I was not so 49 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 50 of the “Pizza incident”, I would say to myself “Don't think about it any more”.
I have learned two things from this 51 . Maybe I was a fool for 52 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 53 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 54 up with you.
This reflects the saying “A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
